My son attended Clopton Nursery Trust from the age of 3 to just before he turned 5 and started school.
I highly recommend this nursery, from my initial visit there and throughout my son's whole time there the manager and the team were nothing but welcoming and friendly and my son absolutely flourished
there.
They helped him work through some difficult stages of behaviour such as biting and he came out the other side thriving.
I only wish they were able to take children from younger than 3 as I would love to send my daughter there when she turns 1 if I could!

Reply from Georgia Skinner, Manager at Clopton Nursery Trust Ltd

Thank you for your lovely message! We do take from the age of 2 years so would love for your daughter to start with us then.

The nursery itself is amazing feels safe, welcoming and clean for my child. He has already come so far since starting in September, building on his confidence and talking so much more! The staff are excellent so kind and caring, I feel so comfortable leaving my little boy with them he absolutely loves
coming! I am so grateful to all the staff for everything they do for the children and parents. I viewed a few different nurseries before choosing this one and it was by far the best choice!

Our girl was never really keen at her previous nursery. When we made the change to Clopton Nursery, giving her a few months to transition, the difference has been huge and she has started to love going to the nursery, to the point she is now asking for it and looking forward to going.

Our experience with Clopton Nursery has been brilliant. We can see why it's an outstanding nursery and our son is thriving.
The staff have taken on board his speech and language needs.
He has made friends with other children and it's so lovely hearing about his day.
The menu choice for the food
is impressive and we have had positive experiences with every member of staff.

I am really happy with Clopton Nursery. They looked after my girl since 2019 and now they look after my boy since September. My boy was not very happy to go to nursery and they helped him a lot to settle in. They tried to find the activities he likes and they played with him. They cuddled him as he
needed leaving him to settle in his own time. Besides at the same time, they updated me during the day, helping me not to worry at work and to feel less guilty for leaving my boy at nursery. Now, I can see my boy really is happy at nursery, enjoying all the activities and developing all his skills. Another very positive point is the easy communication with the nursery and flexibility when you need to amend sessions. Thank you so much to all the team who make this possible.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

Mainly overall good, but some things I feel could be better; for example, nobody talks to you at pick-up time, there are people at the gate, but no one tells you how their day has been, how they've eaten etc. Another point is I've never actually spoken to her key worker in person; the only contact is
through the website, which isn't the same as talking to people. One last thing is that sometimes my child has come home with marks, which she says are from another child, but no one has notified me of these incidents. Also, a lot of these questions were being asked to review; we don't actually know because parents do not go inside, so hard to comment on cleanliness and resources etc.

Reply from Georgia Skinner, Manager at Clopton Nursery Trust Ltd

Thank you for the review. We do understand that people prefer different forms of communication and from talking to you last week I hope we have addressed the things that you have mentioned in this review.

Really happy with the overall care they are providing. My daughter is always happy and joyful when I pick her up from nursery and she really likes the snacks being served. Once she had an accident and got her pants wet. So everyone around so so caring to get her changed so that she can keep warm - really
appreciate it.

This nursery is fantastic and is extremely reasonably priced compared to other nursery settings in and around Stratford. The staff are always very friendly and very accommodating where possible. My two boys have both attended this nursery over a period of 13 years with my eldest son now being thirteen
and my youngest being three.
Wonderful people and a fantastic setting for all children.

My son enjoys going to nursery, he can be difficult when arriving, not wanting to go in etc., but the staff are always so helpful with getting him in and excited! He gets a lot of support from his teachers and is really progressing! Only downside is I don't believe there is enough communication between
staff and parents!
At dinner time he always gets an option which is great and come leaving time they encourage independence with getting their own stuff off the peg. I really love the nursery and so does my son!

Such a lovely nursery, warm and welcoming. Staff are kind and approachable. My child is always coming home happy, telling me all about his day and what fun he has had. Really pleased with how the staff update you with their daily activities and send pictures. Also, staff write-ups on my child show they
do actually know my child in what they write about him which shows how much attention the children get. Really impressed!

Already excellent service is provided by the nursery with caring staff! It will be fantastic if there is an improvement on dropping kids to school as the roads outside school are too narrow and not convenient for dropping/catching child.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.262)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.262) out of 10 for Clopton Nursery Trust Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.906 for Clopton Nursery Trust Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.906

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.356 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clopton Nursery Trust Ltd is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.556

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
